Reflections

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. - T.E. Lawrence

Susquehanna Makes #3 Spot on MER List

The Susquehanna River has been on American Rivers' Most Endangered list three times in the last 11 years; #1 in 2005 and 2011...and #3 in 2016.

Read more about this year's listing here, and read the entire report here. One of my RiverFest pics made the report, and I'm grateful for the acknowledgement.

Thanks, American Rivers. Good luck in your efforts.

I acknowledge and apologize for the recent lack of posts. Since ~mid January, I have been dealing with an unanticipated aftermath of my leg injuries from early 2013. The altered biomechanics of both legs from knee surgery have slowly & silently but most definitely wreaked havoc on my hips over the past few years. As my orthopedic surgeon quipped; "the train has left the station and it's not coming back."

Across Time: The Words of a True American Patriot

"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men."

- Samuel Adams (1722-1803)

A Pennsylvania DEP person said WHAT?!?!

You've gotta love this one:

"Tarbell said various substances could easily seep into the groundwater through cracks in underground rockbeds created by the fracturing process of drilling for oil and gas, leading to the determination that Schreiner was the responsible party for the contamination."

I've been saying it all along; hydrofracturing can and will cause the contamination of our aquifers. BIG OIL and their cronies say it can't happen...viscosity or retrolinear osmotic biosis or some such quantum physics thing.

This person should be promoted for telling the truth. Wanna bet something else happens?
